Social Strings

Full Script

McGiggles

Notes

Social cues rule the town. Many roles have uncertain alignments, and others check those alignments or rely on social plays to gather information. Spirit of Ivory is in play for when a Philosopher chooses Ogre. I usually let the original Ogre pick first, then let the Philo Ogre deal with their life choices. Bootlegger is optional. Snake Charmer goes before Minion/Demon information.
